I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

but......

Let's see who the real prey is!

The exchange seemed to have ended in an instant, but the matter was not over yet.

The flames on the mastermind's arm were easily shattered. He clenched his fist expressionlessly. Although he hadn't killed Bai Mu in the previous battle and hadn't truly used his full strength, this time, he had no doubt that he truly wanted to kill Bai Mu.

He was never the kind of person who liked to give his enemies a chance. If he had the ability to kill his opponent, he would definitely not hesitate to take action and kill him.

Therefore, His actions this time were intended to effectively kill Bai Mu and completely cripple him in this battle.

Unexpectedly, his offensive was thwarted, and even his cold, ruthless killing intent and aura were blocked by the white curtain...

He thought that by using all his strength in the fight against Bai Mu, he could easily suppress and kill him. However, he never expected that things wouldn't end so easily...

Indeed, he is a powerful and troublesome enemy.

He clenched his fist. Although it was somewhat unexpected, he did not feel any regret. For the mastermind behind the scenes, the process was not important; what mattered was the result!

Therefore, the mastermind raised his head again, looked at the white curtain not far away, and then... took another step forward!

The battle... has begun again!!!

The mastermind and the white screen have clashed once again, and the battle has begun anew.

The flames that had been spreading among the stars disintegrated instantly with a single step. The mastermind behind the scenes took a light step, and that seemingly frail but incredibly strong body once again pierced through the void, arriving before the white curtain in an instant.

Without the slightest hesitation, a fist imbued with terrifying energy slammed towards Ye Feng.

The power of this attack was equally terrifying; even if it didn't kill Bai Mu here, it would definitely make him lose consciousness again.

But......

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar echoed through the starry sky, and an unparalleled vibration spread outwards, disturbing the entire cosmos.

The power was completely unleashed, but the mastermind's expression was slightly off.

His punch... didn't feel like it hit a physical object.

The white screen in front of them had indeed been hit, and the expression on their face due to pain did not seem fake, but... it just didn't have a physical form, as if the white screen in front of them was fake.

No... this feeling... isn't right.

Is it an illusion... a fantasy? I just deceived him with my aura, and now he's using the same tactic on me?

No... it's not a fantasy, it's... that my attacks have become much weaker?

The attack was effective, but it wasn't entirely effective... Oh, I see, they used other methods!

Although I don't know what method it was, since the attack was effective, let's see how long this ability of yours can last!

No matter how many magical arts you possess, I will break them all with my own strength!

The mastermind, who remained expressionless on the surface, gathered power, and a surge of energy emanated from his body.

He prepared to strike again, using his own power to break through the defenses before him.

But just as He was about to act, a black circle suddenly appeared beneath His feet.

Dark vines emerged from the formation and quickly bound his hands and feet.

"Although you are very powerful, I don't necessarily have to fight you to the death here, do I? This is not a one-on-one battle, but a war to the death."

"One-on-one combat is a tactic only the ignorant would choose; war doesn't care about victory or defeat, it only cares about killing!"

Although the mastermind behind the scenes has shown strong intuition and senses, does the White Curtain necessarily have to fight the mastermind here?

He had only come to gather information, but since the other side was really determined to do everything in their power to kill him, he had no choice but to stall until all his forces were in place, at which point he could launch a counterattack!

Therefore, his current method of dealing with the mastermind is undoubtedly to stall, to try to slow down the mastermind's offensive, to survive the mastermind's fierce attack, and to exhaust His energy and strength.

As long as he can withstand this relentless onslaught, the final victory will still belong to him!

Originally wanting to have a fair fight with the mastermind behind the scenes, Bai Mu realized the gap between himself and the other party and decisively chose to stall.

—Damn it, even if I can't beat you, can't I at least hold you off?

So what if it's a full-scale war? Come on, I don't know what got into you, suddenly wanting a full-scale war, but since they're here, they have to accept it too!

Let's see who's stronger!

Moreover, he didn't really come alone; other beings from other universes came along and were watching from the sidelines...

Over there, the fighting must have already broken out completely, right?

The battle between vast universes... has begun!

Chapter 394 I was actually tricked!

The moment the mastermind behind the scenes made his move against the white screen, the outcome of their battle was already decided.

Whatever the reason, the White Curtain is the representative of their universe, the spokesperson they chose together. To attack the White Curtain is to attack them.

The battle began almost instantly.

The moment the white curtain was repelled by the mastermind behind it, Noah immediately spread his wings to save people, but a powerful dark force descended in an instant, and the silver giant of light was stopped by a pitch-black giant.

Appearing before Noah was a figure who bore a striking resemblance to him, not only possessing almost identical wings but also having a Y-shaped energy lamp on its chest.

The only difference is... the giant before us is completely black.

The pervasive dark power seemed to want to swallow people into hell!

The legendary only nemesis of Ultraman Noa... Dark Lucifer!

Dark Lucifer... the final boss in the original Ultraman Nexus concept, is a superhumanoid monster born from absorbing Zagi's energy and the accumulated fear within the River of Oblivion. He possesses the power of the two dark giants, Faust and Mephisto. Due to the low ratings of the TV series *Ultraman Nexus*, the original *Ultra N Project* had to be scaled down. Not only were the number of episodes reduced, but many of the original plot points were also cut and altered.

The original draft, chapters 25 to 52, was completely altered in the TV version, and Dark Lucifer did not appear in the TV series.

However, even so, Dark Lucifer still appears in the sequel novel "Rebirth" which comes with the TV series "Ultraman Nexus" DVD.

Noah's only nemesis did not actually not appear; he simply appeared in the sequel novel.

However, even if Dark Lucifer has appeared, its data is still unknown.

Height, position, speed, special move, and birthplace are all unknown.

They are enemies shrouded in mystery.

In the novel's storyline, three years after Ultraman Noa defeated Dark Zagi, the appearance rate of Alien Beasts decreased significantly. No longer needing to fight, Himeya returned to her old job, holding a solo photography exhibition in Los Angeles. Rei continued working at the amusement park and became engaged to Mizuki, who had resigned from her TLT job. The two ran a restaurant called Needle Nest, and happiness surrounded their joyful family every day.

Nagi recovered her body, Komon became the vice-captain, and the so-called Memory Police organization was disbanded.

However, there is still a person who uses a memory erasure device that should have been discarded to illegally erase people's terrifying memories. He is an unknown enemy. He originally belonged to MP, but even Matsunaga and Shudo were unable to find out his true identity.

Finally, on the open-air terrace where Komon and Nagi had arranged to drink together, the memory policeman appeared.

"Humans are weak creatures, and their fear will never disappear, so their prey is inexhaustible."

After saying this, the man took out the memory erasure device, absorbed the surging dark energy, and then the terrifying dark giant, Dark Lucifer, appeared.

Komon raised the Evolution Truster, and with his other hand he tightly grasped Nagi's hand. The two transformed into Nexus together, but this time there was no need to enter a login password. What they transformed into was the silver-white giant—Ultraman Noa.

Dark Lucifer and Ultraman Noa began their battle, but perhaps to create an open ending, despite it being a battle between the strongest darkness and the strongest light, there was no conclusion. The two legendary beings fought from Earth to the solar system, and from the solar system to the Milky Way... and ultimately disappeared without a trace.

The outcome of the battle between Noah and Dark Lucifer remains unknown, but now, these two rivals, destined to fight each other, have clashed once again.

As Noah and Dark Lucifer clashed, Saga originally intended to use his no-cooldown Flash to rush in and help, but then the legendary Hyper Zetton also appeared in front of him with a Flash.

Two fated rivals clashed once again.

The same applies to the monster universe, in addition to the Ultraman universe.

As Ghidorah opened its massive maw to attack the white curtain, the space of the universe suddenly shattered, and a colossal ice-blue monster appeared before Ghidorah without warning.

Compared to Ghidorah the Planet Eater, this monster that appeared was extremely small, like a speck of dust, and not worth mentioning at all.

However, this tiny monster, with its atomic breath, forcefully pushed Ghidorah, the Planet Eater, back!

The strongest monster to shatter space, the greatest traitor in the Godzilla race, SnowGodzilla!

All those who came to provide support and defense were engaged in fierce battle with the enemy. The White Curtain fought with all its might to block the mastermind behind the scenes, using its overwhelming strength to trap the mastermind on this battlefield.

However, when dealing with a mastermind, one must not be distracted or half-hearted. Therefore, Bai Mu clearly focused his efforts on the single word "delay".

As the battle continued to spread, the other universes belatedly realized what was happening. One by one, the powerful beings who were in charge of their respective universes transformed into beams of light and swept over. In the blink of an eye, the entire space outside the universe was covered by an indescribable amount of fireworks!

The all-out battle between vast universes... has begun...

Noticing the battle line to the side, Bai Mu, who had been doing everything in his power to restrain the mastermind behind the scenes, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, the current battle is almost evenly matched, with the mastermind and the universes being roughly equal in strength, making it difficult to predict who will win.

However, many more universes are on their way, and if there are enough of them, the battle can be completely changed.

Victory seemed inevitable.

—How could a portion of the dark power separated from the greater universe possibly stand against the greater universe, even if they were combined?

The real threat to them comes from a mastermind behind the scenes!

Bai Mu looked at the mastermind behind the scenes... He knew very well that as long as he dragged things out, the battle would develop in their favor.

Using delaying tactics to achieve victory is indeed a good method, but... is it really feasible to drag things out like this?

He could clearly feel his power being rapidly depleted. To hold off this guy would require far too much energy, and if this continued, he would probably be the first to be defeated.

The first defeat... He wasn't particularly concerned about that, but... his men weren't all there yet, and if he lost here, it would have a huge impact on the battle.

He thought for a moment, and then suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, what's your purpose in doing this?"

“You know very well that those guys are no match for us. Only your joining the battle can change everything... You have to use your strength to restrain most of the forces in order to make the situation unpredictable.”

"Given your current state of being tied down by me, you simply don't have the time to help others."

"Just wait a little longer, until our men arrive, and everything will change... Your defeat is inevitable."

Why doesn't Bai Mu believe that the mastermind behind the scenes will actually wage a full-scale war?

That's the reason.

The mastermind behind the scenes is the most crucial point. Holding back the mastermind is equivalent to holding back the most powerful enemy. With the power of the universe, other darkness can be suppressed very quickly.
